| Brad
Mehldau is among the most compelling, eccentric, daring and innovative young pianists in
todays jazz. He started his career as a leader in 1995 when Warner Records released
his debut album "Introducing Brad Mehldau". His follow-up album "Art of the
Trio, Vol. I", released in 1997, received great critical acclaim and a 4 1/2 star
review in Down Beat Magazine. In the same year he won the Down Beat Critics Poll, received
a Grammy Nomination in the category "Best Jazz Instrumental Solo" and won the
category "Best New Artist of 1997" in the Jazz Times Readers Poll. Pat Metheny
says about Mehldau: "The most exciting pianist to come along since Herbie
Hancock."
